Clue, the mystery game of whodunnit, has been around since the early 40’s and not much has changed until recently. Hasbro has taken it upon themselves to revamp the old classic.

Many of today's special Clue editions feature popular television and movie themes, which makes giving the gift of Clue unique and personal.

And don't worry, nearly all the games are played the same, with a few minor exceptions. So if you know how the original, you'll catch on quick to the other editions!

Clue DVD Game

The original games comes to life in this DVD remake of a board game classic. This DVD edition adds a whole new level of enjoyment to the deductive fun.

Experienced Clue-doers will recognize the floor plan layout of the game board, as well as the cards and character pieces. What they might not recognize this time is the crime: The game's central intrigue has been downgraded from murder to a more family-friendly larceny.

The DVD doesn't allow for infinite amount of play, only having 10 fixed cases to solve, but you can still play the game traditionally without the DVD option.

For 2 to 8 players.
